From the inception of musical film with the Alan Crosland directed 1927 motion picture “The Jazz Singer”, to modern box office triumphs such as 2016’s “La La Land”, and 2017’s “The Greatest Showman”, the genre has resonated phenomenally with its audience -- seldom fading out of fashion’s spotlight, consistently producing waves of extravagant displays of story, song, and dance. Regardless of the countless advantages they may hold, similarly to any other high profile genre of art, the musical’s fame and fortune has regrettably spawned numerous…

    James Horner: Some of the best movies made today are so great thanks to the advances in video production technology and special effects. However, one of the biggest contributors to a successful motion picture is the soundtrack. The soundtrack to a movie sets tone for the action on the screen and has the ability to truly enchant the audience, creating an emotional stage of relativity between the movie storyline and the audience. We recently lost one of the greatest American composers of such a soundtrack all too soon; James Horner, born August 1953 lost his life in an unfortunate plane crash on June 22nd 2015 ending a successful career of producing some of the most incredible soundtracks we know and love.
